Wired magazine recently published an article titled, “Boom!
Earth’s Population Could Hit 12 Billion by 2100,” which despite the
typical narrative of misanthropic population control that works its way
into any Western mainstream article on the topic of growing populations,
remained relatively positive.

Wired quoted statistician and sociologist Adrian Raftery of the
University of Washington who stated: “A rapidly growing population with
bring challenges. But I think these challenges can be met.”

And Raftery is correct. Wired would also include in its article that:

…it’s worth remembering that human populations doubled
between 1960 and 1999. That tremendous growth spurt occasioned fears of
widespread famine and societal collapse. On the whole, though, we made
it through in decent shape.

Many of those fearmongers between the 1960′s and up to the turn of
the century are still deeply involved in manipulating the discourse on
the topic of human population growth and measures they claim are
necessary to curtail it. John P. Holdren, Director of the White House
Office of Science and Technology Policy, in 1977 ludicrously concluded
that the United States would collapse when its population reached “280
million in 2040.” America’s population is now well over 300 million with
nearly 3 decades to spare. Holdren would add in his now entirely
discredited co-authored book titled, “Ecoscience,” that: “…if the
population control measures are not initiated immediately, and
effectively, all the technology man can bring to bear will not fend off
the misery to come.”

Holdren’s “population control measures” included a despotic
“planetary regime” that would have made the architects of the 3rd Reich
blush.

Wired’s article does dabble in alarmism slightly, with some experts
claiming rationing would be necessary while raising the issue of climate
change in relation to growing populations. While resources and
humanity’s impact on the environment are definitely challenges that must
be overcome, Vaclav Smil, an energy, environment and food production
researcher at the University of Manitoba, incorrectly concludes that
cultural motivations rather than technical innovations will be the key.

Overall, Wired’s article focuses on innovation as the key to solving
growing populations and is a refreshing departure from its typical
mainstream rhetoric repackaged to manipulate more informed and educated
members of the general public. Unfortunately, the comment section below
was riddled with racist, crypto-eugenics propaganda denouncing the third
world as an “overbreeding scourge.” However, there were others pointing
out that most of the consequences generally blamed on overpopulation,
are instead rooted in global institutions like the World Bank and the
IMF consolidating, exercising, and tragically abusing vast unwarranted
power and influence, intentionally expanding socioeconomic disparity,
and thus leading to starvation, war, political instability, and other
tragic symptoms incorrectly blamed on “overpopulation.”

There Is No Such Thing as “Overpopulation,” Only Incompetent Leadership

In reality, the moment the first human began using tools to overcome
physical limitations that would otherwise have caused them to perish,
the so-called natural equilibrium of our species was thrown out of
balance. For those who believe in the concept of “overpopulation,” human
beings have been “overpopulating” the planet for millennia. Most
catastrophes attributed to “overpopulation” are instead the result of
resource scarcity – and while sometimes such scarcity is the result of
variables outside the control of governments and individuals, most of
the time it is the result of easily avoidable pitfalls dug out of greed,
shortsightedness, and above all, poor leadership.

When governments and international organizations begin demanding the
population pay for the burdens of “overpopulation,” it is an indictment
of their own incompetence and inability to solve the basic challenges
facing the societies they presume dominion and responsibility over.

Responsible governments competently presiding over their constituents
can ensure prosperity regardless of natural resources available.
Nations like Japan or Singapore which have access to relatively few
natural resources are able to compensate by developing human resources
and thus innovations that transcend these limitations. Other nations,
like the United States, with seemingly endless natural bounty, through
incompetent or criminally negligent leadership, leaves disproportionate
sections of its society in destitution.

As populations grow, leadership that skillfully cultivates human
resources to compensate for growing needs for natural resources will
overcome the challenges 12 billion people will meet. Incompetent
leadership will not only allow growing populations to lead to disaster,
but will blame everything and everyone else besides themselves in the
process.

Growing Populations, Shifting Paradigms, Evolving National Policies

Astoundingly, despite systematically being proven wrong, alarmists
regarding population growth continue to insist on rationing, population
control, and other constrictive, totalitarian political measures to deal
with the challenges that are to come as more people populate the
planet. Coupling population growth with the impact growing populations
have on the environment – through narratives involving “climate change”
and “global warming” – leadership particularly in the West seek to gain
an even tighter grip not only on their own societies, but by using the
hysteria they themselves are manufacturing, to empower contrived
so-called “international institutions,” granting them authority over
otherwise sovereign nation-states across the globe.

This
method of consolidating wealth and power is but one of many components
of the West’s unipolar international order – otherwise known as
globalization. However, globalization and the “planetary regime”
imagined by the fearmongers peddling the myth of “overpopulation” are
already unraveling even before they have been fully implemented. Growing
awareness and individual technological empowerment over
responsibilities these international institutions presume authority over
is creating battlelines between a centralized unipolar world, and a
decentralized multipolar world. Local empowerment coupled with global
collaboration and awareness is beginning to displace centralized
monopolistic, top-down models of world governance.

While the West attempts to impose “solutions” in spite of reality,
nations attempting to hammer together a multipolar world must seek to
create solutions that reflect the changing reality of technology,
demographics, and the environment. Technological innovations including
space exploration, personal manufacturing, cleaner and cheaper energy,
revolutionary advances in biotechnology and medicine, and information
technology that can be leveraged to help greater percentages of society
reach their full human potential and thus contribute rather than detract
from efforts to solve our age’s most pressing issues, are the only
means with which to solve the challenges to come.

Paradoxically, the West and its current unipolar hegemonic
international order, sees individuals and societies reaching their full
human potential as simply competition posing a potential threat to their
ill-gotten, unwarranted power and influence. Contrary to humanity’s
best interests, they seek to intentionally deter real development and
progress. The West’s multiple theaters of war stretching across the
globe, spanning decades, and causing immeasurable harm to millions as
well as devastating the environment they unfold within is a true
testament to this. So is the methods the West uses to perpetually
mislead and divide their own populations against each other. The
neo-mercantilism that is modern globalization features wasteful,
polluting supply chains that stretch around the globe – from slave-like
conditions in sweatshops to warehouse-sized big-retail outlets like
Tesco or Walmart on the other side of the world selling cheap
consumerist trinkets.

All of this in reality, contradicts all of the West’s rhetoric in
addressing both growing populations and their impact on this planet.

Decentralization of these immense supply chains by leveraging
emerging technology like 3D printing, computer-controlled personal
manufacturing, open source designs and collaboration, makerspaces that
allow communities to engage in research, development and local
manufacturing not only allow individual nation-states to keep jobs and
profits within their borders, but erode the monopolistic special
interests of Wall Street and London and the immense profits they use to
project political and military power beyond their borders at the cost of
peace, stability, and sovereignty in nations around the world – from
Libya to Syria, from Ukraine to Russia and China themselves.

The shifting paradigms necessary to accommodate growing populations –
namely localized development, technological innovations, and the
intensive development of human resources – are also the keys to undoing
the very destructive international order that has failed to solve the
challenges 7 billion people on Earth now face, and promises to fail
meeting the challenges 12 billion people will face.

AGENDA 21 GREEN is a mass murdering agenda too! Human KILLERS are known by the killing that gets done as WAR and then of course, those of the human being faction that decide "God's Work" GOLDMAN SACHS!
